New start for Paragon Interiors as COO takes over

John Rigby

The new owner of Paragon Interiors has said the firm will continue to trade – but under new leadership.

Nottinghamshire Live reports that former Paragon COO John Rigby will head up the new incarnation of the company, after it was bought out of administration last week by Elev8 Interiors.

John Singh, managing director of Elev8, which is based in London, told Nottinghamshire Live: “Following the purchase of Paragon Interiors Group PLC, Elev8 Interiors are delighted to announce that former Paragon Interiors COO John Rigby has joined the Elev8 team to head up the re-launch of the Midlands-based business.

“John brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. Along with Elev8 MD Jon Singh, we have great plans for the future of Paragon Interiors Group Plc.”

The deal comes after an a takeover collapsed last month (March) with all staff being made redundant and two weeks after former owner Alan Hardy said he had been approached to form a new fit-out company.
